Owning a wooded property that has been left alone for 75 years in this water rich fecund region means that in late spring, #OurWawar gets as diversely and thickly green as a tropical jungle!
It is clear that #OurWawar supports the NZ cricket team, given the ubiquity of ferns here! @cricketpun_duh
Saw this worm levitating, or rather caught in a spider web. It was fascinating to see it get pulled up and up in these spirals. #OurWawar
Hadn't checked the depth of the well at #OurWawar in a while.
Did the stone & stopwatch thing and unless I've forgotten high school physics, this means 25 meters or 82 feet deep.

One of the most enduring urban legends is that Mumbai pav gets its name cos it was kneaded with feet (pav in Hindi). Only someone who has never kneaded dough or baked bread would take it at face value. Fun theory to believe.
Of course, the name comes from Portuguese for bread.
This urban legend however has resulted in some places actually trying to knead dough with their feet. There was a video that went viral a few years ago from some Delhi dhaba doing that. And apparently they said they read the idea on the Internet. 🤦🤦
You know what dough was actually kneaded with feet? Japanese Udon noodles! Helped activate the gluten extra.
Pence officially entering the race means a massive indictment against Trump with open-and-shut evidence is coming very soon.
Here's why it makes no sense for Pence to enter the race unless he's absolutely sure that Trump will be a non factor by Fall when the debates start.
Leave aside all the polling. Can you imagine being Mike Pence on a debate stage with Trump? Of course the very first question will be about Jan 6. The noose. Trump still saying Pence betrayed him.
In what universe does Pence come out of it looking good?
But he's not an idiot.
There is absolutely nothing for Mike Pence to gain, personally or politically, by running for president in a race where Trump is running for re-election. He will not do well in the polls. And get bloodied on the debate stage, maybe even literally!
Last year during a discussion on marijuana marketing, a student asked "how can they stop counterfeits or unauthorized use of their brands if it's still a federal crime" and I was like, sahi pakdey hain. 👏
I have the best students! I would not have thought deeply enough at that age to ask this question. We were talking marketing of guns, tobacco, alcohol, and recently marijuana, which we all agreed is sure to be legalized at the federal level within a decade if not earlier.
And we were looking at the various SKUs of the product, contrasting retail models of Colorado vs California vs Massachusetts versus recently, NY and NJ. Possible segmentation strategies. And of course, building brands. Best returns come when your brand is solid.
Not exactly unknown, but most people don't realize that pre-European cultures in the Americas had no concept of dairy or milch animals.
Thousands of years of sophisticated architecture, agriculture, astronomy, vast cities, but no concept of a bottle of milk or cheese.
Museums in Mexico and Argentina talked about how 16th century natives found the European habit of squeezing milk out of cows and goats teats and drinking it downright disgusting. It took a lot of imperial imposition to get the western hemisphere into dairy.
That's a story for today resulting from those histories.
What I'm talking about has nothing to do with genes. None of those cultures from Alaska to Patagonia domesticated animals for milk.
Even llamas, used for wool, meat, beasts of burden. Never milk.
Haha, that one always gets me. I bash the Catholic Church & Evangelicals probably the second most after sanghis. Nothing in my name even suggests anything Christian.
Somehow tho I'm a rice bag convert.
Thing is, I'd totally convert for a free rice bag. No one offers! 😭
And then someone was like oh, your wife is Christian. Yeah, very biblical name Rupal Kakkad. 🤣🤣
Btw there is nothing wrong in converting for a rice bag or even rice bowl. Sanghis just keep repeating that insult and gaslight people into thinking there is something wrong if a person changes their religion for food or education or housing.
Ramaswamy con is brand new. You don't hold any political office nor do you want to.
You start a new wealth management fund. Attack your Wall Street competitors as too woke. Use free publicity by pretending to run for President to gin up business for said fund, drop out.
Hardly anyone in the MSM who platforms Vivek Ramaswamy informs their audience that dude actually has a wealth management fund, with Thiel & friends as investors, that is looking to compete with Blackrock etc.
The anti-ESG screed of his is a customer acquisition play.
Ramaswamy seems straight out of #GlassOnion cos he used to be the relatively least famous member of that cabal that's everywhere. Classmate of JD Vance, partner with Thiel, protege of Tiger Mom Chua. Connected AF!
So removed from reality, he thinks gig economy fixes casteism.
